Table 5. 4-20mA Output Modes
For the Serial Communications sources: Register 40313 holds the 
data, either as 
μA (0 to 23999 Ξ 0.000 to 23.999 mA) or DAC bits (0
to 65535). The DAC (Digital to Analog Converter) used for the 4-20 
mA generation is updated whenever data is written to Register 
40313. 
For any of the Display value sources: The DAC is updated when the 
Display value is updated. 
The actual 4-20 mA range is limited due to component tolerances, 
but is guaranteed by design to be at least from 1.000 to 23.000 mA.
